This is a project that I am posting personally, not by any outside request.

As you may know (and if you don't, I recommend this thread) the anime industry is a harsh place for animators, with salaries often well-below the poverty line and awful working conditions. People still choose to work in the industry out of their love and passion for the craft, but it's no easy life (particularly given that most anime studios are based in Tokyo, where the cost of living is extremely high).

As one small gesture to help address this issue and improve the lives of fledgling animators, please take a look at the Animator Dormitory Project fundraising campaign:

The page outlines the history of the project over recent years and their latest goals. I think it's at least worth it for everyone to give it a read and become more informed about the working conditions in the industry we love.
